INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Featured Guide for Grand Theft Auto IV.
Here you will find guides to all story missions as well as guides for pigeons, unique jumps, activities, bonus missions and more,
including screenshots of a lot of areas. You will also find maps for all the islands. You can also find checklists in pdf format to help you keep track
of your progress in the game. You can find all maps and checklists in the download section.
Since there are a lot of different ways to solve the main missions, I won't give an in-depth description on how to do so, just what needs to be
done and a simple description of the solution. Some of the mission tasks that characters give you can not be completed all at once, but you
will notice when a character is available while you play. This also goes for some of the bonus missions.
Some bonus missions, like the pigeons and the unique jumps, can not be completed until you have unlocked all islands.
Good luck and have fun playing!
